My corkscrew is a hand-me-down from my great-grandfather. After World War II, my father and his family emigrated from Slovakia to Germany to the United States. Either my father or my grandfather, I’m not sure which, brought this corkscrew as part of the family objects they could keep. A corkscrew is an awesome tool because it’s a simple machine. Mine has sentimental value.

I recently bought a Garmin Edge 520 bike computer. I pair it with a heart rate monitor that I wear and a speed sensor and cadence sensors on the bike….

RCMP are looking for the public’s assistance to identify a male suspect who allegedly exposed himself to two teenagers during the evening hours of Friday Sept. 8 in Kelowna.

Kelowna RCMP responded to a report of an indecent act committed in the 700 block of Rutland Road North in Kelowna last Friday shortly after 7:30 p.m.

Police arrived in the area and spoke with two teenage girls who provided detailed statements to investigators.

Police have been told that the male suspect arrived in the area on a black motorcycle, possibly a Harley Davidson, with “U” shaped handle bars.

“After striking a conversation with the two youths, the suspect allegedly exposed himself and offered each of the girls an undisclosed amount of cash,” said Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey. “Both girls reportedly told the man ‘no,’ at which time he left the area without further incident.”

The suspect is described as a caucasian male in his late 20’s to early 30’s, of average height and weight, with red or strawberry blonde coloured hair and a beard. He was seen wearing a black Harley Davidson branded t-shirt and a pair of dark coloured pants.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300. Or remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, leaving a tip online at www.crimestoppers.net or by texting your tip to CRIMES (274637) ktown.

Harley-Davidson Screamin’ Eagle/Vance & Hines rider Ed Krawiec won his third consecutive Pro Stock Motorcycle win at the Dodge NHRA Nationals at Maple Grove Raceway. Krawiec has won 12 straight elimination rounds aboard his Harley-Davidson Street Rod competition motorcycle and holds a 71-point lead in the NHRA Countdown to the Championship playoff standings.

“I’ve won three in a row before but never in a sequence this important,” said Krawiec, who has now won five times at Maple Grove Raceway. “To win the U.S. Nationals and then to follow that with wins in the first two Countdown rounds is simply huge. The team is really clicking and I’ve got a strong Harley Street Rod bike under me. We’ve got momentum but we won’t relax.”

The Street Rod competition drag bikes are based on the Harley-Davidson Street Rod production motorcycle, an agile middle-weight powered by the liquid-cooled High Output Revolution X 750 engine tuned for maneuvering through urban traffic and congestion.

Krawiec qualified fourth for the event with a best elapsed time (ET) of 6.841 seconds at 195.45 mph. Harley-Davidson Screamin’ Eagle/Vance & Hines rider Andrew Hines qualified the team’s other Harley Street Rod drag bike in fifth position at 6.861 seconds and 197.51 mph.

Krawiec had to battle through Sunday elimination rounds to reach the final. He defeated Hines in round two and used a 0.016-second reaction time to score a critical holeshot win in the semi-finals.

“The holeshot victory in round three really put a smile on my face,” said Krawiec. “A racer lives for that kind of win because it’s all on you. You line up and get the win on your own.”

On Sunday, Krawiec’s domination of the Pro Stock Motorcycle field included low ET of the meet at 6.852 seconds and fastest top speed at 196.70 mph. Krawiec, a three-time Pro Stock Motorcycle champion on Harley-Davidson bikes, has five wins in six final-round appearances this season and 41 final-round wins for his career.

After two of six rounds in the 2017 NHRA Mello Yello Countdown to the Championship playoffs, Krawiec leads the Pro Stock Motorcycle chase with 2,319 points. Hines is in fifth place with 2,199 points.

The Harley-Davidson Screamin’ Eagle/Vance & Hines Pro Stock Motorcycle drag racing team is back on the track September 29 – October 1 at the AAA Insurance NHRA Midwest Nationals at Gateway Motorsports Park in Madison, Ill.
